When does Sargent (1916) say a spoken line should be shown as a cut-in rather than a straight leader, how is a cut-in written, and how many may a scene have?
1916 practice (Sargent): a cut-in is a leader placed inside a scene as a character's speech; he calls it less intrusive than a straight leader and a way to hold back a fact until it lands. It replaces the spoken speech rather than repeating it; a scene must return from it; he sets two per scene as a ceiling and prefers one. The wording must be everyday speech.

Curator qualifications: Leader types (straight, fact, time, break, cut-in), the cut-in as in-scene speech, time-leader wording and misuses are verified as Sargent's text. The seven-check list (-05) is labelled practice plus proposal.
